Famous quotes containing the words domestic, production and/or gross:
“I am not naturally ... A bag of wind; yet ... I mean deliberately and decidedly to cut in future all my old ideas on this head. I dont think modesty pays. It is a good quality in a family, it is a domestic virtue, it makes a home happy after you have got a home, but it is not potent in getting homes. It is not a money-maker, neither is it lucky in gaining a reputation. I am of the impression that gaseous bodies do better.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.”
—Karl Marx (18181883)
“How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
Fie ont, ah fie! tis an unweeded garden
That grows to seed, things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
